What is the best material to put under a playset?

• <div><p>Rubber mulch is widely considered the best material to place under a playset. This material option provides more cushioning than traditional wood mulch for added protection, remains cooler than sand and most other materials in direct sunlight, and it’s low maintenance. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-pros-and-cons-rubber-mulch.htm">Rubber mulch</a> is slightly more expensive than other common options at <b>$120 per cubic yard</b> on average, whereas pine bark mulch is <b>$30 per cubic yard.</b> But when it comes to your children’s safety, the investment is worthwhile. Consult your playground equipment installation company about material recommendations before starting this project.</p></div>

Q: Are backyard playsets worth it?

• <div><p>Choosing a suitable backyard playset that&rsquo;s age-appropriate and entertaining for your children is worth the cost. A backyard playset you can update and upgrade as your kids grow offers even more benefits. Although a playset won&rsquo;t substantially increase your home&rsquo;s value, it won&rsquo;t negatively affect it either.</p></div>

Q: What age are backyard playgrounds for?

• <div><p>Children can become interested in playset activities as young as two years old, and many start to lose interest between ages nine and 12. Backyard playsets can grow and adapt as the children age and playtime interests change.</p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to build your own swing set?

• <div><p>Material markup costs and labor expenses are the additional primary costs of hiring a playground installer over building your own set. Labor costs are typically less costly than some more specialized home improvement projects. DIY swing set construction is less expensive than professional installation but will take considerably more time and effort to perform.</p></div>

Q: How do various elements impact the cost of setting up outdoor play equipment?

• <div><p>Costs depend on equipment size, site preparation, and additional features like soft ground covering.</p></div>

Just great. The installer completed the kitchen work first so as not to get outside dirt inside. I love having pure drinking water inset his old house. The exterior work went smoothly as well. He paid attention to my desire to have the equipment hidden and not in view through a window.

Billy Honea was great to work with and his expertise was invaluable in determining exactly what equipment we needed and what ductwork modifications were needed to solve heating and cooling issues we had lived with for years with the old systems. The installation crew was top notch as well.

They were very helpful. I had some equipment and he said I could already use some of the stuff I had. I went to pick up a half gallon of stuff there and they were more helpful than anyone else. Short of coming out to do it for me, they were very helpful. I would use them again.
